Zambia on Fire

It is that time of year when all the farmers burn their field to prepare forthe summer planting. It is crazy to be just driving along and see a massivefield up in flames. So far no major forest fires but it is very surprisingthat it doesn't happen. This fire was precariously close to the power linepole. One of the first rules for Farming God's Way is to not burn thefields because you are destroying the valuable nutrients that are in thesoil. But, because it is so embedded in culture and history, it takes faithto believe and live differently than your fathers and forefathers. Hmm, Isense a sermon illustration coming on...
